No wonder Labour has bankrupted us!

Mad Mullah Gets More Than Frontline Soldier

mad-mullah-v-soldier.jpg

Anjem Choudary, the extremist cleric who wants to lead a protest march through Wootton Bassett, claims £25,740 in benefits to subsidise his hate preaching. Guido questions how he can be seeking work when he spends all his time rabble rousing in broadcast studios and on demonstrations.

In contrast a frontline soldier, fighting Choudary’s taliban allies in Afghanistan, takes home £17,004 for risking his life.

Aren't socialist utopia brilliant? :mad:

    OK, how many mad mullahs are there, and how many soldiers are there?

    Multiply each number by the cost and compare the totals.

    Now explain how that particular comparison tells us how we're going to be bankrupted?

    Is that seriously all a frontline soldier gets? Seriously!??

    What about accomodation etc when at home? Does that not get sorted?

    Be interesting to know how much some of the bears get paid and how come they can spend all day on here explaining how evil chav scroungers get money for nothing.

    This particular mad mullah isn't a criminal incidentally, he just holds differing views on the relative values of brown and white people, and is pointing out there have been a fair few innocent brown people killed for no obvious benefit as well as the white people but they're less likely to be remembered in Dorset.

    Already done Graham. Do you have a job by the way? 30K posts on company time would be a fair total if you do.
